Fuel Flow Diagram & Specs
Lift pump pressure = 3-5 bar (44-73 psi) Fuel supply pump (Gerotor) pressure = 5-7 bar (73-103 psi)
MDV opening pressure ~ 1950 bar Fuel rail pressure range = 650 – 1600 bar (9400 – 23200 psi) – Min pressure required to fire injectors = 300 bar
Other Vital Numbers to Know Stage 1 Fuel Filter Inlet Pressure Limits – ---4 to 10.2 inHg (-2 to 5 psig)
Stage 1 Differential Pressure Limit = 6 inHg (2.9 psi) Min pressure at fuel supply block = -10 inHg (-4.9 psig)
Stage 2 Differential Pressure Limit = 88.5 inHg (43.5 psi) EGT readings at rated speed & load ~ 500°C – Acceptable deviation = ±100°C from engine average
Fuel Quality at Stage 1 inlet must be ≤ ISO 18/16/13 & water content ≤ 200 ppm – One ISO number higher is 2x dirtier Cummins Confidential

TROUBLESHOOTING
Cummins Confidential
Injector Driver Mapping
If one injector is shorted to ground the other injectors sharing supply will not operate – Ex) Faults 331 (2), 1551 (10) & 1552 (11) Active on QSK50/60
HHP Injector Tester (P/N 2892293) Released in December 2010 – Required Service Tool
Released to diagnose stuck injectors quickly – Added to Engine Performance TT tree
Cummins Confidential
HHP Injector Tester (P/N 2892293) Quality issue found in mid-2011 – Testing high amperage C3 injectors showed fail incorrectly – Testers can be recalibrated by the supplier to fix issue • Contact Service Tools for information about returning testers • Recalibrated testers have a letter in front of the serial number
Recalibration Required
Recalibrated Already
Recalibrated testers available from PDC‟s now
Cummins Confidential
Injector Drain Flow Measurements This test was designed to diagnose injector wear out – Measures the drain leakage past the DMV • New injectors have a very low leakage quantity (30 mL/min)
Added injector drain flow measurements to Engine Performance TT tree to test DMV seat leakage – First measure entire engine leakage – If fail, then measure individual injector leakage
Easy to test on QSK19, but time consuming on V‟s Cummins Confidential
Cylinder Cut-out INSITE test that stops the electrical signal to injector – Best used to identify a cylinder with excessive smoke
Multiple cylinders can be cut-out at one time – Shut off an entire bank and focus on only one bank
This test is subjective and has caused non-failed injectors to be replaced
Cummins Confidential
Mechanic‟s Stethoscope Can be used to listen for an abnormal or nonrepetitive noise from the cylinder This is very subjective and requires a known good cylinder to compare against
Cummins Confidential
Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensors EGT values can be monitored to look for a hot or cold cylinder in INSITE – A fault may or may not have been set for these conditions • ±82°C (180°F) from avg. for QSK19/38/60
• ±115°C (239°F) from avg. for QSK50
– Only use when an engine is at a steady speed and load above idle • EGT response times can vary between cylinders
If a cold cylinder is found on C3 engine, try relieving fuel rail pressure to see if the flow limiter was closed before replacing any injectors Cummins Confidential
Infrared Temperature Probe Can be used on engines without EGT‟s – Should not be used on water cooled manifolds
Look for a hot or cold cylinder compared to overall engine average – Cylinder ±100°C difference from average
Cummins Confidential
Injector Diagnostics Applicable to all injectors – C1.0, C2.2, C3.0 and MCRS-22
ECM capable of diagnosing open & short circuit conditions – Typical root causes: bad connectors, wire fretting, broken connecting wires, etc. – Both continuous and intermittent faults can be diagnosed – Diagnostics can only be run when engine is running
Conditions that can‟t be diagnosed by ECM: – High inline resistance causing degradation in injector current profile – leading to loss of fueling/power – Injector(s) stuck open due to deposits on the DMV – Mis-firing injector(s) – injector(s) firing at incorrect timings in an unlikely event of flashing a wrong cal into an ECM
– Non-firing injector(s) – due to any hydro-mechanical issues 57

FAILURE MODES
Cummins Confidential
MCRS Injector DMV Wear Failure Mode: Smoke, Low Power, No Start
Failure Mechanism: Excessive hard particles in the fuel Diesel Metering Valve (DMV) seat worn Fuel leak path past DMV sealing area
Excessive fueling Flow limiter may close and stop fueling
Field Countermeasure: – New NanoNet Stage 2 Fuel Filters have been released which remove more particles (FF5782)
Root Cause: Excessive hard particles in the fuel – Can be in the fuel when received or introduced during engine repairs and fuel handling practices
Preventive Action: Test the fuel particle count to make sure it meets ISO 4406 standard 18/16/13 Use clean fuel handling practices described in Cummins Bulletin 4091849
EBAA-7PLLVU
MCRS Injector Sticking Failure Mode: Excessive smoke, low power, no start Failure Mechanism: – Some pipeline corrosion inhibitors include acidic components – Acidic components react with basic components to form soap – Soap deposits form on injector control valve needle – Restricted needle valve motion causes performance issue
Countermeasure: – Cummins recommends the use of Fleetguard Diesel Fuel Injector Cleaner to prevent and remove any soap within the injector.
Root Cause: – Global & Industry-wide issue due to ULSD additives • Soap = ULSD additive acids + sodium / calcium / biologicals
EBAA-7PLLVU
Soap Build-up
C2 Injector Seat Step Wear Failure Mode – Low power, slow acceleration or white smoke – Mean time to failure: 6500 hours
Failure Mechanism – FTA in process – Step worn into control valve body – Needle sitting too low in control valve body – Air gap between solenoid and needle too large – Control valve slow to open – Injected fuel quantity too low – Low power
Field Countermeasure – HHP Injector Tester (“click tester”) flags injectors as failed
Root Cause and Preventative Action – Pending FTA Results Corrective Action – Pending FTA Results – Production: Moved to C3 fuel system
– Service: TBD
EBAA-7PLLVU
DMV White Layer Not Removed
DMV28 Cross-section
Failure Mode – Engine misfire, rough running or excessive smoke
Failure Mechanism – FTA complete – Very hard material not machined off of valve seat – DMV ball is deformed when it impacts the seat – Ball sticks in the holder and stops rotating which causes wear – DMV doesn‟t seal & nozzle needle hold down pressure decreased
– Injection event starts too early or lasts too long – High fuel injection quantity – Engine misfire, rough running or excessive smoke
Field Countermeasure – Parts Alert 031-11 has been issued to inspect all shelf stock • Return any injectors that match the affected injector sheet attached to the Parts Alert
Root Cause and Preventative Action – DMV seat wasn‟t machined deep enough to remove a hard, brittle layer – The machining process has been changed to insure the entire layer is removed
Corrective Action – Production: All new engines have injectors made after the process change – Service: Campaign C1202 released
CCOI-8L8LG4
Flow limiter in T-piece
C3 Injector Misfire Failure Mode – Cold cylinder, misfire or rough running
Field Countermeasure – Relieve fuel rail pressure to reset the flow limiter in the T-piece – Inspect ECM & wiring harness connections for water, fretting or corrosion
Failure Mechanisms – Mechanism A
DMV28 Cross-section
• DMV worn due to fuel particle erosion • Excessive fuel leakage to drain from injector DMV • Low fuel injection quantity • Cold cylinder or hard to start
– Mechanism B • Long on-time caused by a false low rail pressure reading
• • • •
High fueling caused by the ECM sending a long on-time signal to injector Flow limiter closed due to momentary high fueling Injector doesn‟t inject fuel due to a closed flow limiter Engine runs rough or cold cylinder
Root Cause and Preventative Action – Intermittent false low rail pressure signal sent to the ECM
Corrective Action – Created software that is more robust to momentary false low rail pressure signal • Release estimated in Q3 2013
CCOI-8YSNJZ
QSK MCRS Fuel Line Corrosion Failure Mode – Corrosion at the high pressure fuel line connection
Failure Mechanism – FTA complete – Grommet inner diameter not sized properly for fuel tube diameter
– Inadequate grommet compression – Leak path for water ingress – Corrosion on outer wall surfaces of fuel line
Field Countermeasure – Put heat shrink over the brass nut to prevent water from entering the outer wall
Root Cause and Preventative Action – Fuel line design process inadequate
Corrective Action (see next slide for part numbers) – Production: Modification of grommet seal design for high-pressure fuel lines – Service: Replace any fuel lines found with corrosion during normal service events • Removal of a fuel line unnecessarily could cause an issue
PMON-874KBG
Fuel Line Leaking from Braided Section Failure Mode – External fuel leaks from braided section of hose
Failure Mechanism – FTA complete – Liner material too thin & fuel velocity marginally high – Electrostatic dissipating capacity too low – Pin hole through inner liner of hose – External fuel leak from braided section of hose
Field Countermeasure – Replace steel braided line with blue nylon hose • See next slide for details
Root Cause and Preventative Action – Engineering standard changed to require FC234 material
Corrective Action – Production: Planning to change fuel line material from FC465 to FC234 – Service: Under investigation
DHAS-836ML3
MCRS Fuel Pump Serious Quality Problem Failure Mode: Oil leakage from fuel pump, engine fails to start/run, excessive/unusual noise from the fuel pump
Failure Mechanism: High friction between roller and pin and non conformable material (steel pin on steel bushing) causes relative motion between the roller and cam Long periods without running result in dry roller/pin interface Power Gen does not prelube before starting
Countermeasure: Campaign C0935 – Proactive pump inspection with Prelub installation and AV seals to raise sump oil level
Root Cause: Lack of lubrication between roller/pin and cam/roller interfaces at startup
Corrective Action: Campaign C1340 Brass bushing pump with AV seals, periodic prelube, and calibration with lower fuel rail pressure during startup Oil By-pass circuit from Prelub pump directly to fuel pump accessory drive
Preventive Action: Technical profile and QAP updated
FPPA Armature Scuffing Failure Mode – Low Power, Black Smoke, Check Engine Light – Median time to failure: 6400 hours
Failure Mechanism – FTA Complete – Varying fuel lubricity & bushing harder than armature – Internal wear at bushing surface causes high friction – FPPA doesn‟t close fast enough & causes a fuel pressure spike
– Pressure spike causes MDV to open – Open MDV causes low fuel rail pressure & low power
Slow vs Fast
Field Countermeasure – Test fuel lubricity (HFRR spec = 520 micron MAX) • If out of spec, improve lubricity with additive
Corrective Action – Use „fast‟ FPPA on the CM850 system (same as FPPA used on CM2150 system) • P/N 2882025
– A new ECM code is required for the „fast‟ vs „slow‟ FPPA – A small extension harness may be needed to reach the „fast‟ FPPA • P/N 2881173
MCRS Fuel Pumps Leaking at Weep Hole Failure Mode – Oil or fuel leaking from weep hole of MCRS fuel pump
Failure Mechanism – FTA Complete – Design process inadequate – Weep hole exposed to debris – Debris wears out (oil or fuel) seal
– Seal leaks (oil or fuel) from weep hole
Field Countermeasure for oil leaks – Plug the weep hole if within acceptable limits
Root Cause and Preventative Action – Fuel pump design process inadequate • Plan to update or create design standard with lessons learned
Corrective Action – Production: Plugging pump weep hole during assembly • Weep hole removed from design in Q2 2011
– Service: • Pump weep holes have been plugged at PDC‟s as of March 9th, 2011 • Contact your distributor for information regarding the field countermeasure
GOOD PRACTICES
Necessary Customer Maintenance Practices Monitor fuel cleanliness – Take regular fuel samples at Stage 1 filter head inlet • Minimum is ISO 18/16/13 w/ less than 200ppm water – If above spec, take samples at every fuel handling location to determine source of contamination
Keep fuel tanks clean – Check regularly for water bottoms or biological material – Clean fuel tanks annually
Stop using non-Fleetguard fuel additives – Issues have been linked to additives on some sites • Request the fuel supplier to stop using as well
Necessary Customer Maintenance Practices Use NanoNet filtration & replace when specified – Other filters may not protect the fuel system – Extended change intervals can release particles
Never pre-fill stage 2 fuel filters – Allows “dirty” unfiltered fuel to go directly to the fuel system
We need your help communicating this to OEM‟s & customers – See Service Bulletin 4091849 for supporting info
